With over 3 billion units deployed, the Nucleus RTOS is one of the most deployed and stable commercial RTOS products in the world! Over the years, many Nucleus customers have developed and shipped embedded products targeting the portable medical space covering a number of devices from glucometers, defibrillators, patient monitors and so on. Today, adding the Internet of Things (IoT) to the technology … Read More

A frequent question which I am asked in person or by other means is “Where can I learn about embedded software?” Although this can come from young people looking for a career [in which case their choice of college course is probably the way forward], most such inquiries come from “normal” software engineers [i.e. folks who a used to programming desktop computers etc.] or hardware … Read More

A few weeks ago we held one of our Google+ On-Air Hangouts on Internet of Things Security. You can view the full video using the embedded YouTube video below. During this hangout we received some excellent questions from the audience, and one of our presenters, Felix Baum has taken the time to answer three of them.
How is the transition between secure and normal carried out? What part controls that?

Earlier this month at the Freescale Technology Forum (FTF) I was interviewed by Andy Frame from ARM about some quick thoughts on the Internet of Things (IoT). I hope you’ll appreciate that I do call out that IoT does have an issue in many minds as being a buzzword. All the marketing fluff aside, my personal experiences have shown that connectivity and greater information can have a positive impact … Read More

Many of us have spent this week resetting passwords and upgrading some software as a result of the recently discovered Heartbleed security bug. I didn’t really have such a fundamental issue that impacted so many systems all of us work with on a daily basis in mind when we scheduled our panel discussion on Security Strategies for Internet of Things (IoT) Systems. The bug did however reinforce to … Read More

We’re seeing an explosion around portable devices in the market. From consumer gadgets to medical devices to industrial instruments, battery operated, handheld and wearable devices are penetrating many sectors of the market. While these new class of devices tend to be more compact compared to prior generations, they offer a great deal of connectivity and functionality packed into these smaller and more … Read More

I visited Embedded World Germany several weeks ago and in addition to show being extremely vibrant, and saw a lot of buzz around the Internet of Things (IoT) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Semiconductor vendors, hardware vendors and software vendors alike were talking about IoT in various ways. And why not? The IoT momentum is quite significant given the billions of embedded devices that we expect … Read More

Like most of you we’ll be in San Jose the first week in April to attend the EE Live! Conference and Expo. Before visiting the Lick Astronomical Observatory, stop by our booth (#1812) to learn about connected smart meters, Internet of Things (IoT) medical devices, and power management.
We’ll be presenting the following demonstrations at the booth all week:
Connectivity with bluetooth for … Read More

Last week, as I previously previewed, was Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany. Now that I am back home, footsore and tired [and still harboring the symptoms of a head cold that makes traveling even less fun than normal], I can reflect on my experiences.
When I return from such events, it is always expected that I will have gained a firm impression of what the event was all about and what trends were … Read More

At Embedded World in Nuremberg last week I had many discussions on the "Internet of Things" or IoT. Depending on the person I was talking to we'd cover areas such as memory footprint, what is a microkernel, how to introduce connectivity without impacting reliability, how to build power efficient devices and of course security. It really does become about the whole "system" and in the case of IoT devices … Read More
